I sold my last BMW in October 2006 and have had quite a few cars since. Truth is: nothing else feels anything close to a BMW...a true driver's car.

I started searching for a 2009-2010 335i coupe. I had to have a manual transmission (it seems that only about 5 -7% of these cars are stick shifts!) and I wanted the M-sport package too. And no x-drive for me. The combination of N54 coupe, manual trans, m-sport (09-10), and RWD seems to be super rare.

I found an 19,000 mile Alpine White, Black Dakota, Gray Poplar, Heated Seats, PDC, Headlight Washers, Logic 7, iPod, SAT radio, 19" M225 wheels, and it is a CPO car too. Not loaded up but great for me.

It has the BMW PPK and a fresh set of Michelin Super Sport tires (I bought a BMW M-mobility kit for the trunk). I put in a short throw clutch stop (best $10 ever) and a modified CDV. The car runs strong and I'm excited to be back in a BMW. The summer-only tires are going to keep it in the garage for most of the winter, but I'll enjoy it on the warmer days.

Thanks to many of you for your help with my search. I look forward to learning more from you.

Great find! About half a year ago I was on the same boat as you; I wanted all those things you've mentioned and I also wanted my car to be alpine white. I looked for a while and finally found one. My car is almost identical to yours, similar mileage too lol.

funny. i always promise myself that i won't touch the car...leave it stock...blah, blah, blah. then it starts. i had a 2009 Pontiac (Australian M5!)) G8 GXP LS3 car, manual transmission, 1 of 1,828. same problem. within months i put old-school long tube headers on it, a tune, shifter, etc. etc. crazy.

this 335i already has the BMW Power Performance Kit. i added the glossy black 'performance grills' last week along with a clutch stop and CDV. it's already started. the grills may be for sale soon as i'm not sure i'm feeling them.

that's great. i've always been a sucker for white cars and the gray poplar trim is fantastic! it's pretty much how i would have ordered it...i prefer garmin NAV over any factory NAV so it's all good.

Nice looking car bud. I went through a similar search earlier this year, I started my research and about 9 months later I found the one I wanted on a wednesday, it was home by friday. Pretty much the same as yours just 193 wheels and auto. No PPK though, keep the black grills if I may make a suggestion; they look much better and distinguishes your car a bit from others.
